More than a month passed in the blink of an eye!

"Claim!"
Lin Yun successfully maxed out the two new martial arts he had been cultivating.
His Origin Power also increased rapidly, reaching the peak of the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm. He could already initially achieve Origin Power shapeshifting, just a step away from the Shapeshifting Realm.
"What exactly is the Shapeshifting Realm like?"
Lin Yun fell into thought. He had reached a bottleneck, but didn't know how to break through. He was still very unfamiliar with the Creation Three Realms.
"I need to spar with a strong practitioner of the Shapeshifting Realm. Only then can I have a direct feeling and experience."
Lin Yun immediately thought of City Lord Shi, Zi Yue's father. In the entire Flame City, he was the only strong practitioner in the Shapeshifting Realm.
City Lord's Mansion! Lin Yun went directly to visit.
When the guards at the gate heard Lin Yun's name, they immediately welcomed him in and reported his arrival.
Lin Yun's killing of Yue Shan in the city square and his breakthrough to Four Seal Symbol Master during the Tower Duel had already spread throughout the city. He had become the most sought-after and top young genius in Flame City.
This strength and talent were enough for him to communicate with the City Lord on equal terms.
"Junior Brother Lin Yun, are you here to see me?"
Zi Yue received the news and ran out immediately. Seeing Lin Yun, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Why do I feel like Junior Brother Lin Yun looks so good after not seeing him for a month? Could it be that I miss him too much... Zi Yue's beautiful eyes stared at Lin Yun, examining him closely. The more she looked, the better he looked, and she even felt her heart rate quicken.
"I've been in seclusion for over a month, and I also missed Senior Sister a bit." Lin Yun smiled faintly, not denying it.
However, he immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, how is your Three Talents Sword Formation and Creation Array cultivation going? Are there any difficulties? Tell me, and I'll help you sort them out."
Zi Yue said, "The Creation Array is easy to get started with because of the mental inheritance you gave me. But the Three Talents Sword Formation, I haven't found good swords to cultivate with and am still in the experimental stage. Also... let's talk in my room. I have many questions that need guidance."
Upon arriving at Zi Yue's room, she immediately explained all the problems she encountered in her cultivation. She liked it best when Lin Yun taught her, because Lin Yun could always explain a complex problem in a simple way, making it very clear!
Another half a day passed! Lin Yun finally answered all of Zi Yue's questions one by one.
"Senior Sister, I'll give you these two swords. Combined with the one you have, you can cultivate the Three Talents Sword Formation perfectly." Lin Yun took out the Li Fire Sword he had obtained from Liu Long earlier and the Mystic Dark Sword Yan Xuan had given him before.
Zi Yue's eyes lit up, but then she asked, "You're giving them to me, what about you?"
I can just use high-grade Spiritual Treasures... Lin Yun pursed his lips and said with a hint of arrogance, "At my level, I can use anything. These swords are no longer enough to affect my strength."
After successfully conquering Zi Yue, his reward was a high-grade Spiritual Treasure, the Seven Absolute Flying Swords.
This was not one Spiritual Treasure, but a set! Seven identical flying swords, each a high-grade Spiritual Treasure, with extremely powerful might. Moreover, they had a very high compatibility with Mental Energy, far beyond what the Mystic Dark Sword or Li Fire Sword could compare to.
He had already gained too much from Zi Yue. He was very willing to compensate her, even wishing he could give her hundreds of millions!
"This... How about I compensate you with Yang Yuan Pills?"
Zi Yue was a little moved. As the City Lord's daughter, she knew how precious these two swords were. The main reason was that the materials for carrying Mental Energy were hard to find, and you couldn't necessarily buy them even with money; they were something you could only hope to encounter.
"Senior Sister, there's no need to be so polite. When our Lin Clan first came to Flame City, the twenty thousand Yang Yuan Pills you gave me helped me a lot. I've always kept that kindness in my heart."
Lin Yun casually found an excuse to make Zi Yue feel more at ease accepting them.
"Okay, then Senior Sister will remember this kindness for a lifetime too," Zi Yue said with a smile.
In her heart, Lin Yun was too good to her.
In the few months she had known Lin Yun, her strength had improved the fastest, far exceeding the past decade or so.
"Senior Sister, where is your father? Is he in the mansion?"
Lin Yun suddenly asked.
As soon as he asked this question, the atmosphere immediately became ambiguous.
Asking if her father was in her room! "My, my father... usually doesn't come to my room," Zi Yue said softly. After speaking, her face immediately turned red, and her ears felt hot.
Damn...
Seeing Zi Yue's reaction, Lin Yun immediately realized that his question was very ambiguous.
Zi Yue clearly misunderstood, and the key was that even if she misunderstood, she seemed to want to experience the feeling of a racing heart.
The shy Zi Yue was like a young lady waiting to be married, with a strong sense of wanting to refuse but also welcoming.
Senior Sister, this is your home... Lin Yun swallowed. The City Lord's Mansion, his future father-in-law's house, and this was ancient feudal times. Just thinking about it was exciting.
The City Lord is in the Shapeshifting Realm, I might not be able to beat him. I'll endure for now!
Strong practitioners in the Shapeshifting Realm had very strong senses, perhaps not weaker than his Four Seal Symbol Master. Maybe he was watching them from the shadows right now.
Lin Yun immediately stopped the impulse in his heart.
Can't be led astray by Zi Yue! These young ladies are too unrestrained.
"Ahem, I want to find your father to exchange pointers."
Lin Yun coughed dryly, forcefully interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere.
"Spar with my dad?" Zi Yue was stunned. She had just been preparing to spar with Lin Yun, but unexpectedly, Lin Yun made a complete 180-degree turn.
"My dad is in the Shapeshifting Realm. Aren't you just asking for a beating by challenging him when you're only in the Core Formation Realm?" Zi Yue's tone instantly returned to normal, even becoming a bit colder.
"My cultivation has been stagnant recently, and I feel like I'm about to break through to the Shapeshifting Realm, but I still don't understand what the Shapeshifting Realm is. So, I wanted to ask City Lord for guidance!" Lin Yun said seriously.
"You're going to break through to the Shapeshifting Realm?"
Zi Yue's eyes widened, looking at Lin Yun as if he were a monster.
The first time she saw Lin Yun, he was only in the Core Formation Realm. It had only been a few months, and he was already about to challenge the Shapeshifting Realm. Moreover, he had just broken through to Four Seal Symbol Master not long ago. Cultivating both simultaneously and being so outstanding in both was simply too monstrous.
"Yes!" Lin Yun nodded affirmatively.
Zi Yue had no choice but to take Lin Yun to see her father.
At this moment, deep within the City Lord's mansion, City Lord Shi also immediately snapped back to reality and said in surprise, "Good kid, growing so fast!"
Hmph, it's a good opportunity to teach this kid a lesson. Why is he barging into a girl's room? If he likes my daughter, he should come to propose. It's not like I wouldn't agree. So rude.
City Lord Shi clenched his fists tightly again.
He had known about Lin Yun the moment he entered the mansion and had been observing him secretly. Just now, Lin Yun almost did something to his daughter. As a father, his fists were about to explode.
After a while, Zi Yue and Lin Yun walked in.
As soon as they entered, they saw City Lord Shi standing in the main hall, which surprised them a little.
Zi Yue said in a tone that implied he had to agree, "Dad, Junior Brother Lin Yun has something to ask you."
This guy, why does he look like he's been waiting here? He couldn't have noticed me being alone with Zi Yue, could he... Lin Yun cupped his hands, "Greetings, City Lord!"
"Oh, what do you want to ask?" City Lord Shi looked at Lin Yun, appearing very interested.
Lin Yun immediately explained his thoughts.
"Haha, it just so happens that I also wanted to spar with little friend Lin Yun. I've been itching for a fight ever since I saw you kill Yue Shan and the other two. Come on, let's start right away."
City Lord Shi laughed heartily and walked outside impatiently.
They arrived at the training ground! "Dad, be careful with your moves. Junior Brother Lin Yun is not your opponent, don't hurt him," Zi Yue reminded him.
City Lord Shi was almost elbowed to the point of spitting blood by his daughter. This was his little cotton jacket, after all.
His jealousy flared, and his fighting spirit grew even stronger.
He was determined to give Lin Yun a good beating.
But as a City Lord, he still had to maintain a certain demeanor. He said solemnly, "Zi Yue, you don't understand. Step aside. Little friend Lin Yun is about to break through. This kind of sparring must give him enough pressure to gain some insights. Maybe, as we fight, he'll break through. I'm doing this for his own good."
"Here I come!"
After speaking, City Lord Shi couldn't wait to throw a punch.
